Atlas Ocean Voyages has unveiled the full inaugural 2028/29 season, fares and brochure for Atlas Adventurer, the world’s first luxury expedition sailing yacht, scheduled for launch in November, 2028.
Reservations for the revolutionary, three-masted vessel will open to the general public on June 11, 2026, through the exclusive representative for Atlas Ocean Voyages in Australia, Cruise Traveller, which specialises in small and boutique ship cruising.
Marking a significant milestone for the brand, the debut 2028/29 season introduces an all-new collection of journeys across Asia and Africa – destinations never before featured in the Atlas destination portfolio.
To celebrate the program launch of the all-suite Atlas Adventurer, Atlas Ocean Voyages and Cruise Traveller are offering a flight credit of up to US$3000 per suite for bookings from Australia made via Cruise Traveller before September 30, 2026.
The inaugural season of Atlas Adventurer features 16 voyages beginning November 6, 2028, in Japan, and culminating in May, 2029, in Greece. This highly anticipated deployment represents a bold expansion of Atlas’ immersive expedition experience, introducing an extraordinary range of new ports across southeast Asia and eastern Africa. Guests will explore the vibrant cultures and diverse landscapes of destinations including Indonesia and Thailand, as well as the remote, wildlife-rich shores of Madagascar and Kenya. Enriched by Atlas’ Epicurean Expeditions and Cultural Experiences, each journey is thoughtfully designed to deepen connections through regional cuisine, local traditions, and meaningful encounters, all while blending authentic discovery with the brand’s signature yachting elegance.
“This inaugural season is a defining moment for Atlas Ocean Voyages,” said James A. Rodriguez, President and CEO of Atlas Ocean Voyages. “With Atlas Adventurer, we are introducing entirely new destinations while staying true to our ethos of delivering deeply immersive, culturally rich journeys. These voyages are designed for discerning travellers seeking both discovery and refinement in some of the world’s most compelling destinations.”
In Australia, Cruise Traveller Managing Director, Joe O’Sullivan, said: “The debut of Atlas’ first sailing yacht represents an exciting new chapter for the brand and will appeal to Australians seeking immersive exploration paired with refined elegance and grace. Atlas Adventurer will chart new waters for Atlas, venturing into Asia and Africa, destinations rich in culture, wildlife, and unforgettable discovery.
“Atlas Ocean Voyages is a perfect fit for Australians who value effortless elegance, an abundance of space, elevated cuisine, efficient service, affordability, and a focus on authentic, low-impact visits to smaller ports and remote and pristine places around the world,” Mr O’Sullivan said.
